Wills & Successions

Estate and succession law is one the most complex branches in the legal industry. In emotionally trying times after the death of a loved one, the resolution of these complicated issues can generate tension between family members who may or may not have the same parent. When a family member has not created an enforceable will or in the case where the will is contested, a mediator can help you resolve your dispute outside of the adversarial courtroom.

Despite their differences on an estate issue of any kind, most family members want to retain a positive relationship with their loved ones after the dispute is over. Family members are often committed to doing everything in their power to carry out what they believe were the wishes of a loved one, and many turn to litigation in an attempt to do this. Sadly, litigation is frequently not in anyone’s best interest, simply prolonging a solution and inflaming arguments between family members in the short term.

Mediation provides a confidential and neutral atmosphere to air your concerns and walk through potential outcomes. With an experienced wills and successions mediator at the helm, you are more likely to resolve your issue quickly and effectively.
